Subject: Pine 3.95 Patch #1 now available

From: Michael Seibel <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 1997 22:35:08 -0800 (PST)

This note is to announce the availability of a small patch to the Pine
Message System version 3.95.  This patch is intended to address some of
the more bothersome problems in the various Unix ports of the 3.95
release. 

While we've taken every precaution to ensure that this small set of
changes introduce no new instability, as with any new release, please
verify that this is the case in your environment. 

A detailed description of the specific problems addressed is available
from:

        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine3.95.patch-1.readme

The small patch itself is available from:

        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine3.95.patch-1

These files are also available via the Pine Information Center at: 

        http://www.cac.washington.edu/pine

Lastly, we would like to thank all who have taken the time to send bug
reports, suggestions, and diffs.  While we aren't able to address many of
them in this limited patch, rest assured that we are doing our best to
include what we can in the upcoming 4.00 release.

As always, Thanks and Enjoy! 

Sincerely,

The Pine Development Team

I tried the Solaris 2.5(.1) /usr/bin/patch, it does not work. But
using GNU patch 2.1 on a SunOS-4.1 machine worked fine.

Cheers, Udo

Thank you.  When I was looking for a failed file, I found my fault:
I didn't set TMPDIR! :(

On my system Enterprise 3K, SunOS5.5.1, gcc 2.7.2, patch 2.1, I think it ran
the patch alright.  It did compile the patched version OK.  The same files
also compiled OK when mounted on a SunOS 2.4 machine with gcc 2.5.6.

I had this problem too.  Make sure you FTP the file in binary mode.  My
web browser grabbed it in ascii mode.  When I ran patch on it, I got this
exact message you got on four different systems.  After I got the patchfile
again with an FTP client set to binary mode, the patch program had no problem
with it.

I'm sure, that was my problem.  The first time I got the patch and the
source with Netscape from www.washington.edu I had the problem on all
systems. 

When I received the first advice I got the patch from sunsite.auc.dk and I
thought it was the unset TMPDIR - variable, because it was the only
difference.

	So now it was already working, but thanks for your hint, Maletin.
